Now I had a chance of a chrome pre stamp, and thought I would go down the route of gold parts........
However some of the golds simply don't match.........
As for laid back seat posts I simply hate them.......
Stick with it, or go black parts ?

Yellow Kashi mx ?

In the 1st pic the Suntour looks like the odd one out, The others dont look too far apart.
-
If mine, I would use the chrome Sugino spider, and use a Sugino chainring with machined teeth, it will keep the amount of good down, and give a nice balance.
The power disc would be too much IMO.
-
In the light the stem matches the rest, it's the brakes that are completely wrong!
I do agree with the power disc - just waiting to try a chrome power disc with a gold PPP / tuf neck chain ring !

That could work nicely.
I'm not sure about a straight seat post though Nick, I'm not sure it will suit a Performer.
-
Blue parts would look nice :)
-
I don't like Elina's or Kashi MX's on a layback, the seats are too straight, Aeros or something similar always look better, as for the gold...I'd go green :D
-
Liking the gold, you could always get them parts stripped and anno'd so they match :daumenhoch:
-
Seat wise it's crying out for a yellow aeroyal :-X
-
I had a straight on mine for a while, just looked wrong. Layback = freestyle IMO.
Gold is an odd one, I mixed gold and red on my GT cruiser because I couldn't match the gold.
All the gold parts are now ACS, that helped.
Bloody kids bikes :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol:
-
Blue Kashi Aero, Yellow over Blue B-1B's,
chrome MX1000/900's, chrome Tech 3's and Yellow DC cables.
Layback always on an early Freestyler :daumenhoch:
Liking the idea of chrome powerdisc and Gold PPP ring :coolsmiley:
-
This was my '84 with a straight post. It worked for me back then but now I run a layback for more leg room.

I'm liking the the gold/chrome colourway alot. Very :coolsmiley:
-
I would go gold and chrome. As said silver spider, gold chainring and yellow seat. :) Looking cool. Will be an eye catcher in the summer sun. 8) (if we get any) :-\

Chrome and gold looks good, Tim's one from bitd looks great with a straight post too or maybe trim your post back a little so it's not so far back (it looks like it's been smoking a reefer it's that laid back) :daumenhoch:

Black! (Once you go black you'll never go back!;)
-
Looking good Nick , better with the yellow seat .
-
Although I'm an Elina freak I'd say go with the MX but that might change once the tyres and grips are on. What are your thoughts for those?
-
Either black gum wall Panaracers or GT tyres
Grips, F1's maybe, yellow and black

You've given yourself a reet headache here Chief. :LolLolLolLol:

Emptying the feckin loft to find the brakes has given me a headache
I almost fooking fell out too.......jarred my neck, hit my wrist, and lost the footing on the ladder....

Oh, and I've 'stained' the bath.........

-
Yellow tuffs black parts, kashi aeros on freestyle bikes look pony, and proper hurt

Couple of changes........I so wanted to use yellow tuffs, but ain't working for me :-\

Maybe best to stay off the grog next time you go up there ;)

I don't drink.......
Gunna have to start again on this..........

I've only ever had one build Nick where I couldn't decide in colours/parts, my 84 FST, bloody nightmare.
A mock up like you've done here is the best way to decide once and for all though.
I'd stuck with it as it is, it look great up to now.
-
I think it's looking good too, maybe Comp ST if they are GT tyres or vice versa.

That feels better.......the yellow tuffs weren't working......chrome and blue it is !
-
Ew, they look like Maximisers on my mobile, are they?
-
They are, but they ain't staying.........just seeing what the blues look like
-
Gold / Yellow parts look good Performers.
How about run all Black parts with just Gold Brakes with Black Cable :-\
-
blue = seat, grips, wheels
gold = brakes, stem, seat clamp, chainring/powerdisk
black =tyres, pedals, cables...
;)
